In a tight game at the Groupama Stadium, Lyon secured a massive 1-0 victory over Nantes in their latest Ligue 1 match. Alexandre Lacazette was the hero for Lyon, netting what proved a decisive goal in the 49th minute, assisted by Rayan Cherki, who was making his 100th appearance in Ligue 1.
The win propels Olympique Lyonnais out of the relegation zone, ending the year 15th on 16 points. Meanwhile, Nantes now sit in 13th place with 18 points after the defeat.
This victory continues Lyon's impressive turnaround as they finish the year with three consecutive wins—a feat that had seemed impossible just weeks ago. For Nantes, they finish 2023 with 19 losses, a stat they'll be looking to improve upon next year.
Looking ahead, Lyon's next game is in the Coupe de France Round of 64 against Pontarlier on January 7, while Nantes will face Pau FC on January 5.
